Gonna finish off this series with episode 8 and then go binge watch Bluey while I paint my walls today
Alastor distorting video feeds like a cryptid that can't be captured on camera is one of the most interesting things about him tbh
I still really, realllly feel like an all-out war with Heaven should be like, a giant show finale and not the end to the first season. Where do we go from here?? We already know God doesn't exist in this universe, so what other lore is even left to be explored?
Once again Charlie giving some big heartfelt speech really doesn't feel earned when we've barely spent any time with these characters
Hate to keep beating a dead horse here but Alastor when did you start caring about the hotel and its residents
He's a good dad to Nifty though, 10/10
"You have always been a worthy opponent" Pentious we didn't see you fight Cherri Bomb once in the show
Oh fuck off this More Than Anything reprise is really good
THEY FINALLY KISSED FUCKING HELL
And ofc they had to immediately follow it up with Adam lmao. Not even Alex Brightman can save this character
"That's how they can kill us? With our OWN weapons?" HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW THIS. WHY WAS THIS TREATED LIKE SOME BIG MYSTERY.
It's so fucking wild to me that we're seeing angels get slaughtered by the dozens and yet we're expected to believe no other demons have ever fought back against them until now??
FUCK HIM UP ALASTOR- WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY VOX???
Al's voice in this part??? Hello????????
Charlie why are you apologizing to the angels who are literally trying to slaughter your friends and family
jfc why did those two kiss, how does this show have zero idea how to write romance
oh he's fucking dead lmao
DAMN RAZZLE AND DAZZLE BEING BIG DRAGON BOYS, I'm GAME though Charlie why didn't you do this at the start on the battle
SHIT NO DON'T HURT THE DREG BOYS
FUCK HIM UP CHARLIE.
Vaggie should've taken Lute's eye tbh
Oh yeah you'd think Lucifer would've been here sooner considering the angels are attacking his kingdom but here we are
Honestly I think Charlie should've been the one to defeat Adam. He was fucking awful to her from the start.
NIFTY GOT HIM LMAOOOOOO
Lute why do you care about Adam?? He was awful to you too???
Also what happened to Alastor?? Is he good??
Also kind of wild we're dedicating an entire song to Pentious but his actual death was played off like a joke
Ohh fuck we're gonna demonize Lilith for being a less-than-perfect parent but completely ignore Lucifer doing the same thing aren't we. This happened in Helluva Boss and I can see it happening again
I love how literally no one gives a shit that Alastor's gone lmao
Oh wait there he is
Ooh so he definitely made a deal with someone, very interesting
HE'S AN ANGEL OH MY GOD
Also Lilith??? Is in Heaven???? What??????
Honestly nothing I can say hasn't already been said about this show and finale. Kinda stupid Al literally got hit once and then just fucking dipped until the end, like good job man way to show you cared. BUT ITS OVER AND I'M FREE. I'm gonna go paint my walls and sew some stuff

Pls be gentle because this is my first attempt at fan fiction in ages.
Chapter 1
Apartment #303, Timberhill Commons, San Antonio, TX
December 1, 1993
In addition to going to school full time to get your master’s degree in education, you work at a video rental store, which you both love and hate. You love it because you get to talk to people about movies. You hate it because your social battery runs dry quickly. So on nights like this, when everyone and their mother is coming in to rent movies, you are completely depleted by the time you clock out.
You’ve been sitting in your car staring up at your apartment for 10 minutes. There’s a particular neon OPEN sign illuminating your living room that Michelle only turns on when she is throwing a party. She didn’t tell you anything about a party, so you’re dreading what you’ll find when you open the door. There’s weed and a tiny bit of coke in your room that you’ve been saving for a rainy day. Today is that day. You take a deep breath in and exit the vehicle.
Even before you reach your door, you’re relieved to know you’ve grossly overestimated how many people are in the apartment. It’s just about as quiet as any other night. In fact, when you open the door, there’s nobody in the common areas. Michelle’s radio and the very obvious sounds of sex are emanating from behind her closed door. You wander over to the neon light to shut it off. There’s a bottle of whiskey (emptied halfway) and two shot glasses on the table.
You stare at the setup for a bit, contemplating whether or not to take a shot yourself. Considering how dead inside you’re feeling, in combination with the soundtrack of Michelle getting railed, it’s pretty easy to decide.
Fuck it.
After filling both glasses to the brim, you take one, then the other, and grimace. If you have to hang out with another fucking weirdo- Not that Javier was weird, he was actually pretty nice but whatever- god help you, you aren’t going to be sober for it. You fight your body’s urge to send the liquor back out your mouth. Once the warmth settles in your belly, you go into your room, change out of your work clothes, into an oversized black and white striped sweater and a pair of black bike shorts. You stretch out on your full-sized bed next to the rolling tray to roll a joint.
Thankfully, the radio playing in Chelle’s room mostly mutes the heavy panting and wet slapping noises she’s making with her friend, but you keep having flashbacks of making yourself cum to those sounds two nights ago. It made you feel… decidedly uncomfortable with yourself. But you’ve always had a voyeuristic hunger that you feed occasionally.
Regardless, you’d like to tune it out today. You put the headphones of your portable CD player on and press play. The world melts away as you spark your joint and listen to Primal Scream’s Loaded.
Just what is it that you want to do?
Well, we wanna be free to do what we wanna do.
And we wanna get loaded.
And we wanna have a good time.
You’re completely elevated, staring at the popcorn ceiling above your bed as you sway your head and hands to the music. The two shots of whiskey are helping you feel loose. The tensions of being around too many humans for too long while working start to fade away.
After you have some time to fully zone out and decompress, you’re ready to join the land of the living. You pull your headphones off to listen to your surroundings, confirming that Michelle and her guest have migrated back into the living room.
You consider staring at the ceiling for the rest of the night instead of emerging, but you think it’s actually Javier you hear. This piques your interest. He and Michelle obviously have a “thing” going on, but you can’t help but have a crush on him. Whenever you think about the tender way he held your hand, which has happened more often in the past 2 days than you’d like to admit, a wistful smile plays on your lips.
I’ll just go say hi and have a drink with them.
As soon as you open your bedroom door, it becomes apparent that you need to drink much more in order to chill with them. Michelle is sitting practically on top of Javier on the couch, essentially screaming into his face, telling him a story about one of her clients at the hair salon. He’s giggling.
Fucking giggling, seriously?
“Jesus Christ how much have you two been drinking?” you grab a shot glass from the kitchen then join them in the living room, sitting on the floor across the coffee table.
“OH MY GOD, BABE,” Michelle hollers at you, noticing your presence, then continues to slur, “Javi and I were playing ‘never have I ever’ but taking shots instead of sips.”
Your eyes involuntarily flick to Javier’s face when she says Javi and you make eye contact. This is the first time you’ve seen him in a fully lit room, and it really didn’t help this whole crush thing. He has the warmest dark brown eyes. His entire presence is warm, which you find surprising because when you met him, initially he seemed to be much more… intense and intimidating. His face is flushed; clearly he and Michelle have been drinking heavily for some time.
Your eyes meet and he has a goofy smile, so you can’t help but fucking beam. What a cutie.
“I guess I have some catching up to do… Or, is it ok if I hang out with you two or are you trying to be all uh…” you falter and look down at the floor to hide that you’re blushing, “on a date or something? I don’t want to intrude.”
“Babe, please, join us,” Michelle insists and looks from you to Javi.
He adds in a teasing tone, “Yeah, babe, we’d love a third.”
And the fucker winks at you. Your entire face starts radiating heat because of how hard you’re blushing. You know that was his goal. He’s just picking on you. But you let your mind wander to the concept of being their third for one second…
And snap out of it before your heart beats out of your chest.
“Fuck off,” You snort at him as you pour a shot. He feigns offense. You swallow the whiskey while rolling your eyes.
The three of you played two rounds of “never have I ever” (like teenagers), in which Javier discloses he has not done cocaine like you and Michelle, which is fine. But then casually mentions that he is a DEA agent and is home on leave from his assignment in Columbia, where he’s trying to arrest Pablo fucking Escobar.
“Shut the fuck up. Are you serious?” You ask loudly in your outside (drunk) voice. He nods.
Michelle leans in towards him and coos, “That’s actually really sexy.”
A hollow laugh escapes him. He focuses on the floor and appears… haunted. There’s an awkward silence. You sense he didn’t really mean for it to come up, and doesn’t want to talk about it further. This tugs at your heart strings. He lights up a cigarette. Michelle sprawls back onto the couch, laying her legs across Javier’s lap.
A silence settles and you get the feeling the game is over.
“I brought home ‘The Thing’ if you guys want to watch it.” You suggest meekly. Michelle doesn’t like movies as much as you. But if you’re being honest, it isn’t really her reaction you’re seeking.
She turns her head towards you and scoffs, “Oh my god. No, we don’t want to watch your lame ass movies.”
You feel a stab of rejection and frown.
Well that was unnecessary.
Being in a state of intoxication, you’re unable to reason with your insecurities. Tears well up in your eyes, so you excuse yourself to go take a shower. The hot water pours from your head down your body. The noise and warmth consume you and you’re lost in its trance. You have a chance to relax and review your emotional situation.
Usually, you watch movies alone. Michelle hates them for some reason, especially the horror movies you like to watch. Which really isn't a problem most of the time. You ultimately decide you feel embarrassed that you wanted to watch it with Javier, and Michelle’s comment was just searing enough to make you feel like a loser for suggesting it.
The Thing is one of your favorite movies, so you love showing it to people. And now, in retrospect, it sounds so silly. A guy is here specifically to spend time with your roommate, and you’re upset because they don’t want to watch a movie with you.
There’s just this compulsion pulling you toward Javi. You think he might feel it, but you also think he could just have that effect on women. Maybe the living room is vacated because you actually want to watch The Thing after smoking another joint, cocooned into your favorite blanket on the couch.
Once you’re out of the shower, you skitter from the bathroom to your bedroom. You get dressed, roll a joint, put your glasses on, and tiptoe into the living room, dragging your comforter behind you. Javier is there, perched on the couch, but no Michelle in sight. A bolt of panic shoots through you.
“Did Chelle go to bed?” You ask, sitting down at the opposite end of the couch and pulling your comforter up around you. When you gather the courage to look over at him, his eyebrows are knit together and the corners of his mouth are downturned.
“Yeah I brought her to bed a little bit ago. She was falling asleep,” he scratches his face then meets your eyes, “Are you ok?”
Your whole body tenses slightly, you nod quickly, then start rambling, “Yeah, I’m fine! I’m just… drunk. And I was being emotional because I’m drunk. It’s totally fine. I know she doesn’t like movies that much, I- I don’t know why I asked.”
“It was rude of her to say that to you,” he says softly, “You don’t deserve that.”
“Yeah, I wasn’t expecting it to be so harsh, I guess,” you nuzzle into your comforter and gesture to the joint, “Do you mind if I-?
He frowns and shakes his head.
“Do you want..?” you offer the joint up to him after lighting it. He chuckles and shakes his head some more.
Offer a joint to the narc, yes, perfect.
He leans forward, puts his elbows on his knees, and fidgets his hands a little, “So uhh… The Thing?”
“What thing?” You blink.
A wide grin breaks out onto his face, “No, the movie-“
“Oh Jesus Christ, duh!” You cackle. Your laugh echoes off the walls but you don’t try to muffle it.
Who gives a shit.
Javier starts laughing, too, and relaxes back into the couch, “Your laugh is incredible.”
“If by ‘incredible’ you mean ‘extremely obnoxious’, then yes. Fucking incredible,” you scoff.
He rolls his eyes, “I don’t see how it’s possible not to like you or your laugh.”
You hide behind your hair for a moment, then turn to him and notice he’s focusing on your face. The rapid heartbeat in your chest picks up speed as you study his handsome features. You’re being a complete fool.
And he’s just being nice.
“Do you actually want to watch this or do you just feel bad? Because I’ve seen it dozens of times, you really don’t have to.”
“I want to,” he states firmly. You get up to grab the tape and put it in. He continues in a gentler tone, “I had a good time watching IT with you the other night.”
Your whole body hums at the thought of him enjoying anything with you. A blush spreads across your cheeks.
“Really? Ok. Well, The Thing is actually one of my favorite movies, and I thought you might like it.” Once everything is set up and you press PLAY, you settle back onto the couch, stretching your legs until your toes are just not touching Javier. He moves closer to you, pulling your ankles on top of his lap, then he pulls up your comforter to drape it over you both.
Conversation is casually sprinkled throughout the movie. You find out that he has been in San Antonio visiting his cousin, but otherwise he’s helping out at his dad’s ranch down by the border. He enjoys movies, but hasn’t had time to watch many since he was younger. He’s on disciplinary leave currently but seems like he’d rather eat glass than expand on that subject, so you don’t push it.
You share a bit about yourself, too- how you grew up in Minnesota, you’re going to school for your master’s in education so you can become a grade school teacher, and how you and Michelle have known each other. Eventually he asks about your love life, but there’s really not a lot to tell.
“I haven’t had much luck dating people down here. I was in a relationship with this girl two years ago, but that’s pretty much it, aside from the occasional hookup,” you look down at your hands, “It’s difficult when you only go out with your hot roommate and… you know…” you grapple for the right words, “people fight for a chance with her. I’m pretty much invisible. She’s so pretty and fun. I wish I could be like her.”
More often than not, if you get hit on, it’s by the wingman of the person trying to get with Michelle, and they usually give a half-hearted attempt. It’s not like you’re unattractive or anything, you just don’t shine as brightly as she does in those situations… and you’re a tad shy at first. But it has started to grate on your self-esteem.
“Listen, I don’t know you very well, but… don’t compare yourself to Michelle,” he says sternly. Your body tenses, pulling your feet from his lap up underneath you. Based entirely on his tone, you’re sure he’s about to start berating you, so you embrace for impact. But his tone is softer now, “It’s like apples and oranges. You’re very attractive, and sweet, and any guy would be lucky to get a date with you.”
A placating smile forms on your lips, “Sure”
If that was true, he would ask me out. If that was true, anyone would ask me out.
“You don’t believe me,” he raises an eyebrow.
“It’s not important,” contradictory tears prick in your eyes, “You’re right, I shouldn’t compare myself to her. It’s just…” you sigh heavily, frustration evident in your voice, “anytime I’m interested in someone, I have to hear them fucking her, you know? And I can’t help but think, why not me? Is there something wrong with me? I don’t know… I- I guess it’s just getting to me.”
You study your fidgety hands while picking away at fuchsia nail polish. He scoots over onto the seat cushion next to yours, gently extends your legs so your knees drape over his lap, lets one hand rest wrapped around the back of your knee, and then tilts your face up towards his. His fingers feel electric on your touch starved skin. You shiver. His brow is furrowed and a frown is plastered on his mouth. He studies your face as if to ask, is this about me?
And, you know, it kind of is. In fact, it totally is.
You’re horny and resentful, and the crush you have on this man is unreasonable. The words to express yourself are fighting their way into your throat, propelled forward by the whiskey still pumping through you. Adrenaline floods your brain and you can practically hear how hard your heart is beating as you meet his dark eyes and confess, “I- I guess I’m just jealous because I uhh… I wish you were with m- me, not her.”
You fight the urge to hide your face away in shame. It felt good to say it out-loud, but at the same time you want to puke being that vulnerable with someone who’s practically a stranger. Just an acquaintance, really. Your roommate’s short term fuck buddy, like seriously?
But his expression doesn’t change. He nods, his gaze flicks between your eyes and your lips a few times. Your breath is sucked from your chest. You lick your lips at the thought of him kissing you. You nod too. He leans into you. You’re both still while the ending of The Thing plays on the TV:
Childs: How will we make it? MacReady: Maybe we shouldn’t. Childs: If you’re worried about me- MacReady: If we’ve got any surprises for each other, I don’t think we’re in much shape to do anything about it. Childs: Well, what do we do? MacReady: Why don’t we just… wait here for a little while, see what happens?
Despite your slight intoxication, you’re acutely aware of this moment suspended in time. You feel his breath, whiskey and cigarettes, on your face. You inhale. It mixes with the musk of sweat and his masculine cologne and the scent is tattooed on your brain. His eyes are burning a hole into you. The gentle touch on your jawline, the tightening grasp on the back of your knee, it’s lighting your skin on fire. You crave the feel of his skin against your own.
Javier walks his fingers from your jaw to the back of your head, trailing across your ear in between. He grabs a fistful of hair at the base of your skull, which sends ripples of pleasure from your scalp down between your legs. You gasp, and he pulls your lips onto his. You kiss him back, savoring the way his mustache brushes against your face. The way his pouty lips seem to melt perfectly into yours. He renews the kiss, deeper this time. You part your mouth to run your tongue along the seam of his mouth. He moans quietly and grants you access. Your tongues touch and it’s so soft and wet and intimate, you turn needy.
You pull back so you can swing yourself on top of him, placing your thighs on either side of his hips and your hot center flush against the hard cock straining behind the zipper of his tight jeans. You feel the bulge pressing against you and can’t help but roll your hips back and forth slowly to create more friction. His hands press into the small of your back, he’s trying to get closer to you still. Ripping your sweatshirt off, you expose your breasts to the room. His hands shoot up to cup them, but you stop him, “Not yet.”
You run your fingers through his wavy hair and pull him into your cleavage, sandwiching his face tightly between your tits while he groans into your chest. The noises reverberate inside your rib cage. This is fucking delightful listening to him struggle against you. You drag him out by his hair, and as soon as you see his molten brown eyes you breathe out, “Now you ca-”
He doesn’t even let you finish before he has his mouth wrapped around one of your tits, shoving as much of it into his mouth as possible. He moans while sucking and running his tongue against your nipple. His hand grabs onto your other tit and squeezes for dear life. The sensation shoots off fireworks in your brain and you let out a strangled noise. His hips shoot up into yours, then he switches sides.
“Fuck yes oh my god- that’s so good baby,” you grab the hand on your wet tit and help him tease your nipple. He’s drooling all over you, moaning into your tits, and you’re fucking feral for him. You resume grinding your hips down onto him and he releases you from his mouth with a pop.
You pull his head up to meet yours and press your mouth onto his, moaning into the slow, wet, hungry kiss. You break the kiss to whimper at the ceiling as your whole body starts to break out in a sweat. He takes this opportunity to pull your neck to his lips. He tantalizes you by leaving a trail of wet kisses from your throat up to your earlobe. He catches the lobe between his teeth, then closes his lips and sucks gently. You come completely undone at the sensation.
You gasp, “Please”
He releases your earlobe and looks up at you, eyes smoldering, “Please what?”
He wants you to say it.
You press your foreheads together and beg in a whisper, “please- please fuck me.”
He wastes no time pulling your hips up so he can unbuckle his belt and shuffle out of his pants. You roll to the side and yank your shorts off. When you meet in your previous position, straddling him, the heat from your skin meets his. Your swollen pussy is laying right on top of his throbbing cock. When you buck your hips forward, the length of him slides between your lips, head rubbing against your clit. You rock back and forth again, gently this time, and continue at this pace. It feels like heaven. His face is pleading up at you and you are on a fucking power trip. You lick and suck on his neck while unbuttoning his shirt, then yank it off of him and throw it on the floor.
Your fingers splay across his chest, then you drag your nails down his torso, leaving a trail of tender welts behind. His breath speeds. Feeling yourself and your power in this moment, you lean forward to whisper in his ear, still slowly running your wet cunt against his cock, “do you want to fuck me?“
He moans and jerks up harder against you while his hands grab your round ass and he desperately attempts to push you down onto him more, “yes, please-”
Pleasure has completely consumed your being. He’s looking up at you, eyes pleading, mouth open. It’s more than you can take. You slide yourself up his shaft so the head is dipping into your soaking wet opening. Then you pause, and you hear his breath catch. You look into his puppy dog eyes and demand, “Say it.”
“I want to fuck you. P-please let me fuck you,” He begs. You oblige, and lower yourself down his length. He gasps, “Fuck-holy fuck-“
As he makes his way up into you, every single movement fills you with ecstasy. Your entire body shivers at the feel of him inside of you and you bite down on your lower lip, a moan escapes you and you can barely form a coherent thought as you start rolling your hips back and forth.
His hands wrap around your waist and he pulls your hips down harder, which makes you gasp, “Fuck, Javi, that’s so fucking good.”
He completely lifts you up as he adjusts the position, moves onto his knees and turns the two of you around so your back is against the couch. You wrap around his body and slide down onto him further. He puts his hands around your lower back to support you. Your foreheads press against each other and you’re breathing into each other.
A loud moan escapes you as you adjust to this new angle and it lights your nerve endings on fire. He starts plunging in slowly, deeply.
“So fucking good. Your pussy is fucking perfect,” he breathes into your mouth, then starts frantically kissing you.
“Faster, daddy, please-“ you beg him between hungry kisses.
He lets out a guttural moan and instantly obliges, pounding into you hard. Your heartbeat starts thudding in your ears and you swear your entire body is buzzing. You’re completely lost in each other. Nothing matters but the two of you, starved for intimacy, completely drunk on lust.
You feel the heat of an orgasm begin tingling in your center. You start babbling “You’re going to make me fuck- fucking cum, don’t stop daddy, please-“
He keeps the same brutal pace and growls, “Fuck- yes, be a good girl, fucking cum for me-“
You look up and lock eyes with him as you nod frantically. You close your eyes, but he pants, “Look at me, open them.”
You snap your lids open to meet his dark eyes, and let out small frenzied whimpers as you ride your climax up. It’s so fucking hot to be looking into his eyes as it happens. Your face contorts as you feel a wave of pleasure wash over you as you cry out, and you’re sure your brain is completely fucking broken by this man. He let out a choked sound and his whole body goes rigid, he gives you a few more thrusts while both of you find your release.
He lets you go so you can lay back onto the couch, completely and utterly wrecked. He lays back on the other side of the couch, and your legs tangle together.
“Did you just cum inside me?” You ask quietly, still trying to catch your breath and return your pulse to normal.
“Fuck,” he sighs, then you hear him light up a cigarette. You follow his cue. He sits up and looks at you, “I did. I wasn’t even thinking. We should have used a condom, I could have pulled out. I didn’t even realize I was going to until I felt you-“
“I swear to god if I get knocked up the first time I’ve had sex in months I’m going to murder you,” you promise, laughing but really if you get knocked up the first time you’ve had sex in months you might actually murder him.
“Worth it,” he grins from ear-to-ear.
His handsome smile is contagious. You roll your eyes playfully, then meet his gaze. He grabs your hand that’s not holding a cigarette, brings it to his lips and places a gentle kiss on your wrist, then presses your palm against his cheek. You leave it there.
There you two are, making goo-goo eyes at each other, when you hear Michelle say, “Are you fucking kidding me?”

thanks for reminding me i can manifest them to be chill- i way too used to my strict parents lmao
THE JOJO REFERENCES GOES HARD FR
i haven't catched up with hxh manga but i did finish the anime and basically killua split up to protect alluka and gon wanted to meet his father so they technically couldn't stay together, there's a possibility that they won't appear in the manga again :((
don't blame me😭 the first thing i saw about kny was that episode and nezuko (there was so many nezuko edits oml), but first episode was like a 50/50 for me?? i'm pretty sure it's because i used to watch like really dark magical girls animes when i was younger and my cousins always made me watch the final destination series with them🧍🏻
OML TOJI I REMEMBER READING THE MANGA AND WANTING HIM AND MEGUMI TO MEET SDCNKSDJFBS and yuta is the literal definition of looking like a cinnamon roll but can actually kill you
I DON'T BLAME YOU ABOUT THE PROMISED NEVERLAND CUz Isabella's jumpscare in the first episode was😭😭🖐🏻 and yES PLS GIVE BUNGO STAY DOGS A CHANCE!
KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN?? I HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET BUT MY COUSIN WATCHES IT A LOT
there's something so scrumptiously delicious about main characters who are weak but are actually strong and just humbles the people who underestimates them, like, sLAY
my sister recommended me mashle! it's on to watch list since i'm planning on binge watching animes in my waiting room and PLS TELL ME THAT ZOM 100 IS FINALLY COMPLETED, I'VE BEEN WANTING TO BINGE WATCH IT SINCE LIKE LAST LAST MONTH
i'm currently watching the apothecary diaries! It's so refreshing because the female lead is so smart and pragmatic, like she doesn't give a sht about the male lead and just loves medicine and poison tasting so much😫 the only thing i dislike is how she's being forced to be the male lead's partner but the plot is still good heheh
🐧anon
no problemo 🕵️ gotta help the homies out. everything in life is a jojo reference, even jesus.
oml nO wait I watched the whole HXH manga and know they split up I was just acting delusional 😭 and uGh I hope the manga gets finished one day... The creator has bad health-- wait a damn minute I can just manifest his health back wtf am I sayin' 🧐
PFFFTTT what a wild read— and oh god no don't even talk about final destination to me, I cannot drive on the freeway normally sometimes bc of that shit, everytime I see a truck with like oversized loads (especially the fuckers with the big ass steel poles on the back of them) I always get chills, even though I know nothing is gonna happen to me cause I said so 🧍
toji didn't even remember he had son.... deadbeat dad type beat. yuta and rika deserve better ngl
isabella and that other maid... they are nightmare fuel. and yes!!!!!! I will absolutely give it another chance for the adorable tiger boy with the fruity little haircut!!! bingeing anime in yer waitin' room??? bruh that's literally so big brain wtf I low-key wanna shift to all my favorite animes one of these days 🕵️ but I have this underlying worry about the version of myself being left behind to do my dirty work lmfao
also- katekyo hitman reborn! is super good, but I will say that I have been rewatchin' it for a sense of nostalgia on and off whenever I have time and god the first like--- 20 episodes are fuckin' cringe but the main character's awakenin' is satisfying 😭 he's like the og deku
I have no idea if all the eps have been posted for zom 100 !!!! I will check for you today if I remember--- I haven't had time to check after watching like the first three episodes on crunchyroll—
OooOo an anime with a strong female lead!?!?! I would absolutely eat that shit up oml gobble gobble gobble— ew that plot sounds cringey. man, I really want an anime with a stoic, underestimated female lead whos like majorly asexual... wait 🧍 hold on, I basically just described saiki k... I NEED A FULL THIRD SEASON OF THE DISASTROUS LIFE OF SAIKI K.

Haven’t told her parents yet either????…somehow???
She’s a proud rat mama. Owns about 6-8 (a few lab rats that she was given from her old internship). Either she trained them secretly to communicate with her, lets them free roam to get gossip around the neighborhood. Or she just tells people that to freak em out. Will decide later 👍🏾

MAX HEY what got u into soccer (as u call it) / ur football origin story ?!?!?
HI BESTIE I LOVE HEARING FROM YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ASKING!!!
warning in advance i talk. so much. like half this info isnt even necessary to answer the question i jus like to run my big mouth.
so it all started when i was a wee lil lad. actually if you wanna be technical it starts before then!! basically i love soccer cause my dads loved it his whole life. n my dad loves soccer cause his dad loved soccer n i'll probly pass it on to my poor kiddos in the future lmao.
but yeah when i say dad loves soccer i MEAN it. he played when he was in school n continued to play after for the local club, a club made entirely of irish immigrants in new york. he is not irish. but he was rlly good so they were like aight. i have a ton a their trophies n yearbooks n stuff!! my dad was a goalie n helped them win a CHAMPIONSHIP (that he postponed his wedding for)!!! he got a buncha mvp votes n my opa has a plaque thanking him for being their biggest supporter :)) fun fact dads team played against usmnt goalie tim howard when he was younger. dont remember who won tho.
i know less abt opas exploits unfortunately, but by God did he love the sport. man could watch half a dozen games a day. oh wait nvm i jus remembered how could i forget he took my dad to PELES FAREWELL GAME IN '77??? oh yeah my dad n opa used to see the new york cosmos EVERY HOME GAME. so theyve literally seen pele himself more times than my dad can count. funny lil story they were season ticket holders but at the farewell game their seats were given to mohammed ali. as i type this i realize that sounds so made up but im not shitting you. look it up he was there.
so yeah naturally being raised by this man means being raised around soccer. as a baby i had a little plush soccer ball n i actually took my first steps with it. its still lying around somewhere i think. i did play when i was a kid (goalie, ofc) but the fact that i have the atheticism of an asthmatic squirrel cut my playing career short. honestly, i regret not pulling through n playing more. i actually didnt get into european soccer till i was like eleven. up until then i was a DIE HARD mls/new york red bulls enjoyer. i went to my first red bulls game when i was literally an infant n went to damn near every home game for over a decade. which means i jus got to watch the man, the myth, the legend mr thierry henry more times than i can COUNT. i didnt realize till years later how fortunate i actually was!!
now the REAL awakening. so its 2014, either march or april i cant remember. i come downstairs from an absurdly long minecraft playing binge n like usual theres a game on the tv. i ask whos playing n my dads like its el clasico. n im like ??? he explains that barcelona n real madrid are two teams in spain with an intense rivalry n every time they play they call it el clasico. n that barcelona has a player named lionel messi, who many consider the best in the world, n that real madrid has cristiano ronaldo, who many also consider the best in the world. i watched the rest of the game with him, n i honestly dont know what exactly made me a die hard messi fan. my dads a serie a/juventus enjoyer so he didnt care enough to steer me one way or the other. but from that day forward i was the BIGGEST messi n barcelona fan. i remember the 2014 wc VIVIDLY, it made me the woman i am today n NOT in a good way. i also remember growing up watching msn n that was literal crack. the 2015 ucl final especially was an,,, interesting time in my house lmao.
n thats why i love soccer!!!
#OH GOD I AM SO SO SO SORRY#I DIDNT THINK I WOULD TALK THIS MUCH IM SORRY#EVERY TIME I THOUGHT I WAS DONE I REMEMBERED SOMETHING ELSE#N THERES EVEN MORE COOL FACTS N STUFF I DIDNT MENTION CAUSE I FEEL RLLY BAD FOR RAMBLING THIS MUCH#yeah i tend to talk a lot n then immediately hate myself for being self centered#why couldnt God have given me a cool talent. instead i take seventeen paragraphs to answer a simple question.#anyway#i love you abi#ty for the ask <3

My thoughts about a particular scene in Heartstopper season 2
Content warning: This post discusses elements of sexual assault and abuse both in Heartstopper and my personal experiences. There are also light spoilers from season 2.
So I may or may not have immediately binged the entirely of Heartstopper's season 2 today as it came out. (Pun intended.) I fact I may have binged it 1,5 times, since a friend of mine was only halfway when I finished the last episode and I went back to the start of episode 5 and watched the second half again as we furiously texted each other back and forth.
Overall I adored this season. There were a lot of things that were in my opinion handled a lot better in the TV series than in the original comics – the most poignant being how they handled the fact that Tao was the one responsible for Charlie getting outed before the events of season 1 – and there were some things that I found lacking (mostly how they handled Isaac's character).
But one scene really stuck to me, and that was the scene between Ben and Charlie in episode 7, "Sorry".
Ben has been texting Charlie non-stop asking to talk with him, and he finally tracks him down outside the art exhibition in Lambert Art School. Ben wants to apologise for the way he was treating Charlie when they were in a "relationship" (HEAVY quotation marks there), claiming he is a messed up person and his parents wouldn't accept him being gay and he knows he treated Charlie like shit, but he still liked him and thought he was a good thing in his life.
Charlie's reply is what really hit me way harder than I was expecting to.
"Do you remember the first time you kissed me? You didn't even ask. You didn't pause to wonder whether it was what I wanted, and I went along with it because I had a crush, and I didn't know any better. I didn't realise that you had all the control. When I eventually did realise, I thought, 'this must be what I deserve'. Someone taking whatever he wants from me whenever he wants. Treating me like I'm nothing for the rest of the time. And now whenever anything good happens in my life, there's a little voice in the back of my head telling me I'm worthless and that I don't deserve it. And now you want me to forgive you so you can feel better about yourself? I'm glad you realise what you did was wrong, but you don't get to ambush me into forgiving you. 'Sorry' doesn't make up for everything you did to me. I really hope you become a better person so you don't hurt anyone else. But I don't want to be there to see it happen. I don't want to see you ever again."
I just want to say thank you to Alice Oseman for writing this scene, because it gave me words for something that happened to me when I was a teenager.
I was sexually taken advantage of by a person who I had a burning crush for and who basically used me as a tool for his own pleasure. Someone who knew exactly how I felt about him and who could pull my strings to do exactly what he wanted. He could have asked me anything and I would have said yes because I felt I didn't have anything else. He didn't technically do anything against my will and sometimes I even initiated things, but he certainly didn't seem to have any qualms about going through with them despite him being perfectly aware of just how messed up the power balance between us was. And after I managed to end things with him, almost immediately after that there was someone who I thought I was starting to form a connection with and who eventually confessed he just wanted something physical with me.
I felt exactly the way that Charlie did in that moment. That I am just something that people can take their pleasure from and to hell with my feelings. Not even a human being, just some tool to be used and discarded.
It's been ten years and I have had one relationship since it happened. One. And I am definitely not aromantic since I have definitely had intense crushes on people, nor am I entirely asexual since there's definitely been times I've wanted to do stuff – though I am pretty sure I do exist somewhere on the asexual spectrum since it's definitely not as strong or frequent as I understand allos experience. That is how much those experiences fucked me up, and (as messed up as that is) I still consider myself "lucky" since technically nothing happened against my will or anything. I just didn't realise that I had a true choice back then, or that I shouldn't even have been responsible for making that choice. There is still that little voice in my head telling me that I don't deserve a happy relationship. (Though I have also since realised that there is a lot more to happiness that romance, but that's a topic for entirely another post.)
Anyway... As much as seeing that scene in episode 7 hurt, it was also strangely cathartic in a way. And it was just a beautiful scene in general. So I guess the point of this ramble was to just say thank you, Alice Oseman. Thank you once again for giving the queers something beautiful and painfully relatable.

6 Questions Game
Tagged by @seradyn
1. Last Song? - I went through Prince's albums "Purple Rain" & "Parade". I had a LONG commute today into town and it was rainy on and off. The music got me out of a bad funk from the weather. Left off on his song Kiss. That one's fun! I know he's got controversy even in death as a person, but I like Prince as an artist.
2. Last show? - I don't have cable/network and use streaming services mostly. I'm not into too much at the moment. Nothing has really got my attention TV wise. Last Sunday I did catch The Last of Us on HBO Max. Wasn't a bad ep.
3. Currently watching? - I've been re-watching True Blood. When I was in high school and everyone was on a Twilight craze, this was my jam, my peanut butter, and my bread. After season 4 it honestly tanked for me. I wish it ended on better terms or was more aligned with the books. It's been fun though revisiting and remembering why I liked a lot of the characters as a kid, and remembering how my mom lost her shit at me watching this but my gram was like TELL ME WHEN THE NEXT EP IS OUT I LOVE IT! 😂
4. Currently reading? - I finished reading Dinosaurs: A Novel by Lydia Millet, and I'm currently on The Fictional Man by Al Ewing.
The first novel centers around the main character healing through his traumas and finding purpose in life again by connecting with others. The book is literally the embodiment of "enjoy the little things". The plot isn't too deep but its enough to give you pause and think about irrelevant moments that actually mean you're living. There's some good dinosaur metaphors in here too.
The second one is hella interesting (arguably too if you're into fandom stuff or have fictional crushes). From my understanding of the world thus far, "Fictionals" are created humans (either by cloning or advanced robotics idk yet) that represent, well, fictional characters that people love. Once the novelty wears off, many get discarded. I'm not sure if the main character is one yet, but it's been a fun read so far. Makes me sad too cause if this kind of tech was possible, I could definitely see abandonment being a thing.
5. Current obsession? - I don't think it's any surprise I've been on an FFXV binge for several months (and splurging on a crush on a fictional 2000 year old garbage pimp jesus dude). I've been playing a lot of Hades on top of it, and revisiting Death Stranding.
6. Unrelated obsession? - Pokemon, Resident Evil, FFX, FF7, FF8, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Gundam, etc. I have a lot for fandom. Stuff outside of it I'm obsessed with are paleontology, space, and herpetology.
Thanks again Sera! Gonna tag @astrandofgold and see if they want to chime in what they been up to! 💙

For nice ask day - I'd love to know about when you first got into Lone Star, and what are other shows/movies you like and would always recommend?!
Hi!!! It's actually really interesting because I probably would have gotten into the show sooner, I was just lazy.
So my first introduction to the show was actually seeing the ads for season 3 and going hmm looks interesting, and then I proceeded to forget to actually go watch it. 😂 I then started seeing gifs on my dash a few months later, mostly from season 3. It took me until February of this year after seeing like ten thousand gifsets of the scene where TK wakes up from his coma and going "okay I am literally missing out on some delicious angst right now, I need to do something about this"
I binged the whole show and it took me from about the time 4x04 dropped to when 4x06 dropped, so about two weeks. (that's not even close to my record, I binged ten seasons of shameless in two weeks) I also then went and watched OG which I also enjoyed, but lone star is still my fave! I've mostly been lurking around here because I'm generally very shy but also wary of fandoms. But y'all seem nice so hiiii you get to deal with my annoying dumbass now ^_^
(I also couldn't contain my fic ideas, so when I'm done being the slowest writer in existence, I am also excited to jump into that as well 😊)
Obviously I'm coming here from Shameless so that's one show I reccomend. (it's also where my url is from in case some lone star people were like "huh??" I'm too attached to it to change it) I don't really watch a ton of shows, as this is only my third fandom and only my second for a tv show, but I will reccomend one show that I haven't seen much of on tumblr, which is a show called Dark. It's a German show on Netflix and if you're looking for sonething that will absolutely confuse the shit out of you in the best way possible then that's a good one to watch!
For movies, There's a couple I really love. my favorite movie of all time is August Rush. The soundtrack is amazing and it's just a really sweet movie overall.
Just listen to this shit and tell me that doesn't go hard.
Another movie I really love is Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. It's about a kid who loses his father during 9/11 and how he navigates that grief both by himself and with his mother who he has a complicated relationship with. He also has aspergers which impacts exactly how he deals with these emotions and I really relate to him a lot in that regard. It's a sad movie with a beautiful ending, and it will definitely make you cry!
Finally, a movie I'm sure everyone knows and loves, is The Parent Trap (1998 version) It's just so fun and sweet!
Thank you for this ask! I'm having a lot of fun today :)

Please watch Uncoupled on Netflix🙏
So I just finished binging the entire first season of Uncoupled on Netflix starring Neil Patrick Harris. It's about a gay man in his late 40s and his struggle to cope with being a single gay man in this day and age when his boyfriend of 17 years breaks up with him and leaves him, seemingly out of nowhere.
This was the ultimate comfort show I needed today after the day of period pains and possible swollen esophagus pain (I still have yet to get it confirmed at the gastroenterologist)
Listen, I am BORED of the straight rom com slice of life bullshit Hallmark and Hollywood and the streaming services are shitting out every 2 hours. I have literally seen it all, it's never different. Even when they shoehorn in a fucking side character whose only personality is that he/she/they are on the LBGTQ+ scale
I think there is nothing wrong on the whole LGBTQ+ side of things, if that's how they want to live their life, all the power to them, it doesn't really affect me. It might take some time to get used to, especially since I understand about 60ish% of it and confused by the rest. I still have an open mind and I am willing to learn more about it, just not from the media platform I consume. (God I hope I don't get a huge backlash for saying this, I've been hurt before on this platform)
It is when companies/corporate, try to shoehorn it in, to make it more accessible to that demographic, honestly, they don't normally CARE about their fight. Like for instance, the whole scene in the 3rd season of the Boys, where they go to a theme park and it has all the food stands that is trying to capitalize that fight.
I don't really want my rambles to go on that long because I am trying to say that Uncoupled is sooooo good! It is like a Gay version of Sex and the City, but they make it their own thing. Yes, the tagline is more easier if you say to people "Oh, it's like the Gay version of Sex and the City" but the truth is it is so much more than that.
We have seen the straight hetero scene a gazillion times before. But the Gay scene in a freaking popular Western media like Netflix? It has been tried before but, it never really hooked me in, there was always something....off about it.
But Uncoupled, besides a shoehorned in lines about a non-binary character and a out of left field plot twist at the end, nailed that Gay scene perfectly in my opinion. You could tell from the actors and the set and the production that it had the PASSION to bring you this scene to life.
There might be some things that they missed the line or the scene, but this whole viewpoint is from a straight(ish) cis 27 year old woman who is just sick and tired of all the teen romance/rom com Hallmark movies and want something different in my media platform that I consume that I want to escape from reality from and watch a comfort show. Where I can live in for just 4 hours at a time.
Please watch Uncoupled on Netflix!🙏
THIS GIRL NEEDS HER SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE FROM THIS CONCEPT!!!

so my mom got me into stranger things right. we binged all of s3 today because i'm sick and why not. these characters are giving me brainrot.
steve? gets sillier every scene. what a silly guy. my mom says he and robin look like little sailor babies in their uniforms and i thought that was silly. also? shut up. everyone in this group is a nerd. you are a nerd, just maybe.. not in the same way. ur little car stunt? that poor car but also FUCK YEAH GET EM!
dustin? perfect silly guy and everyone who hurts him makes my blood boil. he just a little guy. he looked so silly in his snow ball outfit. his relationship with steve makes me so happy they r like brothers.
hopper? idiot. silly idiot. why are you emotionally constipated so BAD. at least he is LEARNING how to communicate properly. i'm proud of him. silly guy.
joyce? good mom. im proud of her and she goes through so much shit. i hope she and hopper can properly get their shit together but also kinda not because let me tell u it can be FUNNY. she needs a break i think. give joyce byers a break.
robin? <3 i got so excited when i saw her ace ring my mom had to pause it so i could do a mini-ramble about ace rings. she is also a nerd. she does not act like it at the very beginning of the season but she is SUCH a nerd.
erica? sometimes she can be VERY RELATABLE. very mood and i am happy she is safe. also top tier sibling relationship when she said she believed dustin ab the crazy shit just not that lucas could ever be involved.
nancy? kind of an asshole again but that's ok. she's p chill otherwise and i think she just has too much trauma and isn't very good at handling it. also BAMF. nancy wheeler BAMF and you can rip this from my cold dead hands. her hair looked very pretty this season too. i love her
mrs wheeler? the beginning of the season, that thing with billy? that had me wince quite a few times. icky yucky. but. also good mom at end of it after nancy got fired and just. after the thing with billy she was p cool.
(idk if u can tell but these characters are in ZERO order it's just who is on my mind)
billy? VERY ICKY. s2 and almost all of s3 i had ZERO sympathy for him. then his dad was an ass and when he sacrificed himself because he thought of his mom that was actually like. ouch, but still i hate you. also his hair is ugly change my mind.
max? actually kinda of hated her the first few episodes she was in. like. she was kind of a bitch. she grew on me tho!! and by the time she and el started talking i was happy to see her. she's also. not as whiny as most of the boys in the group so. that was nice and her hair is always cute.
el? able to consistently get on my nerves and make me happy. it's a little funky. GREAT style tho i would steal a lot of her clothes. her relationship with hopper makes me go <3
suzie? did not like, personally, but i wouldn't protest if she showed up again. also if she wasn't annoying and made dustin sing hopper wouldn't have that shit happen to her and i would like her more.
bob? i was sad and i probably cried idr. he grew on me and i think he was sweet. he made joyce happy and he made me happy that he liked to help even when he had no clue what was going on and sometimes his advice didn't work.
mike? whiny bitch. learn how to be a decent friend and i'll give u another thought. why is nothing ever your fault? have you ever considered that it MIGHT be at least partially your fault?? ass.
will? honestly, the kid grows on me. he's always caught up in some shit and its hard to actually get anything from that but what you do get... he mostly seems like a sentimental guy who just wants to play games with his friends. i can respect that.
lucas? if he does dumb shit in s4 i WILL call him out. no hesitation. he is prone to doing dumb shit with zero regard for the consequences it seems. he's at least useful when you need him and can find him.
jonathan? he switches between "oh he's p chill actually" and "JONATHAN WHAT THE FUCK" so. idk. u kno what i mean. he's pretty smart tho he carries the party when they're stressed and i'm proud of him.
um. i think that's it. i started this post the day that i finished s3, got tired and went to bed, and now it is a whole 5 days later and i am one ep off from finishing s4. yay?
#stranger things#dustin stranger things#steve and dustin#dustin henderson#nancy stranger things#nancy wheeler#steve harrington#jim hopper#eleven hopper#eleven#jonathan byers#joyce byers#robin stranger things#mike wheeler#lucas sinclair#erica sinclair#maxine stranger things#will byers#max mayfield#billy hargrove#bob stranger things#suzie stranger things

inhale Ted Lasso I love you rant
For many, many reasons, this makes Ted Lasso one of the greatest TV show of this era, in my opinion... But mainly, because each week, Icewolf and I have a shared moment over something wonderful, no matter how bad the week had been.
Icewolf and I are very, very different people. They're a business analyst that love statistics, numbers and graphs, I'm a writer classically trained as a graphic designer that watch way too many TV shows.
They told me about Ted Lasso since day one, begged me to watch it but there was one catch: it was about football. So I said: "No."
No thank you even. "Soccer" Pah! I'm Canadian, we watch hockey. A game that ends in a tie is ridiculous and why is there 6 leagues but you always hear about the same 3 teams? I'll pass on this 'Ted Lasso'
How foolish of me.
You see, for me football was the very complicated "soccer" sport Icewolf enjoyed and raved about statistics with unbridled enthusiasm. As much as I enjoyed reading about random players hi-jinxes or the latest record broken, in the end, I had little to no care.
What compels me is good writing, the over achieving arcs of each seasons, how episodes teases and foreshadows what will happen later (looking at you WWDITS) So I did not see how a show about "soccer" would give me that satisfaction.
Then, came S2 and Tumblr started to campaign to promote it. Saw a few gifs that were hilarious, the dude with the funky hair is kinda cute, big eyebrow dude says fuck every 2 words... I might be interested into looking it up before S2 starts, you know.
Jason Sundkist is funny, I knew him from SNL, the rest was mostly unfamiliar. Hannah Waddingham is incredibly hot, holy shit. So sure, let's start with the first episode and go from there.
Then, the horrors. I will spare you the horrors but I need to mention them before moving on.
Which brings me to today. This 12th week of 2023 has been a shit show for both of us, without giving too much details it ranges from death to international travel going haywire.
Season 3 is coming out, one episode per week, Icewolf and I wait for each episodes with bathed breath, excited to rave about it together.
Only, the things we talk about are completely different. I cannot emphasis how different they are. Here's an example of how different:
Icewolf — Today at 10:39 AM
Let me open Football Manager, I will show you
They then proceed to go into extreme details about a play called 4-4-2 and how on Ted Lasso it would become a 4-5-1, with diagrams from Football Manager and a 1k essay on how it would work on the technical side. Not mentioning who the newest player is based on in real life and where that player is now in his career.
Meanwhile, I'm screaming about character growth, how putting one player on the bench over the other would impact the team emotionally wise, how the pacing of each episode is a roller coaster of funny, sentimental, touching, then funny and back to sentimental and back to funny.
It's not overwhelming, the pacing is like a metronome, joke, feelings, jokes, plot, joke, feelings. When you sit in front of a new Ted Lasso episode, you know it'll be the best 45 minutes of the week.
There's very few TV shows that I will hands own recommend to ANYONE but Ted Lasso has earn that spot. In this era of binging, that Ted Lasso is released weekly is one of it's biggest strength in my opinion.
Even if you see the plot coming, either because you have deep knowledge of the intricacies of football or you can predict any plot of any TV show by watching 3 episodes, it's still so fucking enjoyable.
Of course the big player will come to Richmond, of course there will be conflict between the boys and their plays. It's a romcom. Ted keeps telling us that, in the 'Ted Lasso Universe' (TLU has been claimed I know) this TV show is a romcom. Constantly.
Yet you keep on watching, because it's funny, because it's heart warming, because the characters are real and deep, from Ted Lasso to Bumbercatch the 'less midfielder' (Icewolf's words).
For many, many reasons, this makes Ted Lasso one of the greatest TV show of this era, in my opinion... But mainly, because each week, Icewolf and I have a shared moment over something wonderful, no matter how bad the week had been.

What’s the Craic with...Films To Be Buried With?
I recently started binge listening to Brett Goldstein’s (aka. Roy Kent) new podcast Films to be Buried With and SPOILER ALERT! It’s really good. So good in fact that I decided to answer the questions myself. Please enjoy my controversial and strange opinions on films and do feel free to judge.
1. What was the first film you remember seeing?
Mr Bean’s Holiday. I remember going to see it with my dad and my sister at the cinemas during the school holidays. The scene of him eating oysters in the French restaurant is peak cinema.
2. What was the film that scared you the most?
Wallace and Grommit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. I will not hear any different - this film is a horror film. It is not for children. It should not be shown to children. When I have children I will only show them this film if they have misbehaved so terribly that I need to scare them straight. I personally think my parents should pay for my therapy bills after having inflicted this psychological torment upon me as a child.
3. What was the film that made you cry the most?
Judy. This film DESTROYED me. I absolutely adore Judy Garland. I wish I could have been alive to have seen her perform. There will never be another performer like Judy. The emotion she put into every single song she performed was simply mesmerizing and Renee Zellweger captured perfectly everything that made Judy, Judy.
4. What was the film that made you laugh the most?
Airplane! I know its one of those films where the humour is very much rooted in its time and most likely wouldn’t fly (pun intended) today but I remember being showed this film when I was younger and I thought it was the funniest thing ever produced. Everything about the guitar scene is so simple yet so effectively funny.
5. What is the film that means something special to you?
The Greatest Showman. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say I saw this 5-10 times at the cinema. I bloody love this film. I went to see it with my grandma at one point which is one reason why it’s special to me but the bigger reason is because of how much my dad loves this film. It’s his comfort film. He says it never fails to cheer him up. He even set it as his ringtone at one point just so he had an excuse to listen to it.
6. What is a film that people hate but you love?
Jingle All the Way. People who hate this film deserve jail time. You know who you are. It is up there in the top 5 Christmas films of all time. Arnold Schwarzenegger becoming a superhero? I can and have recited this film from star to finish. The quotability of the film is also top notch. IT’S TURBO-TIME! It’s not Christmas without it.
7. What is the film people love but you hate?
Back to the Future. Quite possibly the most overrated film I have ever seen. How it managed to get it’s own musical I will never know. I will also never understand the amount of people on the podcast who put this as the best film or their favourite film. I really just don’t understand the appeal. Or why they made three.
8. What is the worst film you’ve seen?
Christmas on the Square. Right. It is the worst film in existence. But it makes one hell of a watch party. I spent one of the best nights watching this film and it is both 2 hours of my life I will never get back and 2 hours of my life I want to relive over and over again. One word - CHANGE!
9. What film did you love as a kid but think is shit now?
My friends would want me to say Jingle All The Way but they would be wrong. It is in fact
10. What is the film you relate to the most?
Happiest Season. If you know me then this requires no further explanation. Therefore I shall give none.
11. What is the sexiest film you’ve seen?
Oceans 8. Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock, Rihanna, Helena Bonham-Carter. Anne Hathaway. Mindy Kaling. Awkwafina. Sarah. Catherine. Paulson. End of discussion. However the film does come with a *MAY CONTAIN JAMES CORDEN* warning so you have to be on guard at all times and armed with the TV remote for immediate fast-forwarding.
12. What is a film you found sexy but wasn’t meant to be?
Chickenhare and the Hamster of Darkness. I’m not proud of it. But they had no right making that Indiana Jones looking anthropomorphized rabbit look as good as he did.
13. What is the film you can watch over and over again?
The Princess Diaries 2: A Royal Engagement. A Queen is never late, everyone else is simply...early. Princess Ami HAS to go potty. They’re smitten whilst playing badminton...where’s my kitten? ARE YOU SASSING YOUR GRANDMA?!
14. What is your favourite film?
Mary Poppins. Julie Walters won that Oscar for a reason people. If you don’t think of Mary every time you open an umbrella then you’re not living life properly. The voice of an angel, coupled with Dick van Dyke’s charmingly bad cockney accent (which I as a child thought was spot on and didn’t see any issues with). I will never get bored of this film. It never fails to make me happy. And the best moment of the film? The very first scene. The overture. The minute that first note is played I get goosebumps. The best piece of music ever composed.
15. What is actually the best film ever made?
The Wizard of Oz. I will fight people over this. It is the best, most timeless film ever created. The Wicked Witch of the West is the ultimate baddie. Judy Garland in the performance of a lifetime. It’s a musical which already makes it fantastic. The moment Dorothy arrives in Oz and the picture goes from sepia toned to full over-the-rainbow technicolour is not only one of the most important moments for cinema but without a doubt the most iconic.
16. Which one film would you take to heaven to show everyone?
Right. Now the thing with this question is it tends to be that people pick one of the films already chosen to take with them. But if I were to do that I’d naturally either pick my favourite film - Mary Poppins - or the best film - The Wizard of Oz. But I feel like millions of people would already have taken those two films to heaven and shown everyone. So people might get bored if they have to watch it again (I wouldn’t but that’s because I’m class). So instead I’m going to go with a film that no one in their right mind would have decided to take to heaven. And that it - Diana: The Musical. Now here me out because I’ve thought about this. Not only can I show Princess Diana herself whilst I’m up there in heaven, chilling out with her (because we would be friends. We would.) But I feel like showing everyone this complete and utter piece of garbage would make everyone appreciate musicals like Mary Poppins and The Wizard of Oz SO. MUCH. MORE. And just like that I will have done what was thought to be impossible - I will have improved heaven.
If you reached the end - congratulations! If my taste in films hasn’t completely put you off my opinions on anything, here is my brief list of recommendations of the best episodes of Films to be Buried With:
Hannah Waddingham
Aisling Bea
Rosin Conaty
Tom Allen

Just wanted you to know that I’ve finally started reading the his dark materials trilogy for the first time thanks to your constant praise of the show. I want to watch it but I’m a book before the show kinda gal so that’s what I’m doing. Really enjoying it so far!
Update: I finished the books and I loved them!! Can’t wait to watch the show now; if your posts are anything to go by they did a good job with it
Halfway through season 2 and holy SHIT. I literally can’t put HDM down it’s so good?? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an adaptation this good. I’ll probably binge and finish the rest today lol. As always your recommendations are rock solid
And tangent but I’m so obsessed with marisa coulter 😭 like I know she’s evil or whatever but my god, I can’t help but be in complete awe of her every time she’s on my screen. So complex. I get why everyone in her universe is enthralled by her fr fr
Phewww just finished the show. Wow. Gonna need a minute to digest it all but just wow.
This was truly one of my favorite inbox sagas. I kept checking my inbox for days just to see your updates. Glad you liked both the books and the adaptation because they're truly masterful :)

Girl help I just finished season two of Sex Lives Of College Girls and no one in my life cares about it but me and I care So Much Rn
first off, starting with the fact I Never binge shows unless I really really really like them, j finished two seasons in 2.5 days. I watched all of season one two days ago, season 2 ep 1-7 yesterday, and I just finished the last few eps today.
Season 1&2 Spoilers ahead!! I’m not going to be articulate about this whatsoever
😭 ok so I just love how they did the characters?? And not just the main four roommates but like the side characters and the ones we don’t see that often?? I didn’t get the main characters names down till like. After I finished the first season, leighton kept eluding me! But like. I still loved them all, and I love how in the second season we got to see more of the side characters relationships to the main characters that they weren’t originally friends with?? Like Jocelyn being friends with everybody and I love how they did Canaan as Kimberly’s coworker first and then Whitney got with him (and then they broke up which I didn’t really care about then but now that kimbers with him I’m like BESTIE WTF ARE TOU DOING) and also I loved getting to see more of lila!!! I also like that the main characters do something shitty and then people are mad at them! Except the theta frat was weird at the beginning of season 2 to me?? Ik they held the fundraiser but also like a strip show fundraiser doesn’t seem like the kind of thing that would be very good? And then the lady who came in who was like wtf forgave them too early to me but eh. But like bela being kinda a bitch to jorja? And that on top of bela not telling the journalist to do the group photo and editing the article, of course it makes sense the foxy wouldn’t want her to stay! She does love comedy but also she’s a little selfish!!!
also I love how they did leightons character, she’s like a popular bitch but also closet lesbian but then she meets The Gays tm and she comes out and people accept her and she doesn’t have to change who she is like she’s terrified of but also she does because she learns it’s okay!! And there’s injustice in the world and not everyone liked The Gays tm like when she was sticking up for people at the kappa thing!! And she had Very Internalized Homophobia and said fuck a lot at the beginning which was funky. I hope she gets to talk to her highschool friends again, it would be interesting I think to see in season three if they reconcile and or reconnect after her coming out, because that was a lot of the strain on their relationship as a trio iirc, they said they felt like they didn’t know her and that she was hiding smth all the time.
I wasn’t the biggest fan of Whitney with her coach, but I’m really glad she made up with Jena and then the coach got fired for being a creep! And her mom started laying off a little in the second season which I liked. I think her and Canaan made more sense than Canaan and Kimberly and I’m still kinda mad at Kimberly for that, because Jackson was RIGHT THERE but oK, but also Whitney didn’t tell Kimberly that she was going to try to make things work with canaan or something but also canaan and Kimberly are coworkers n shit like Lila said and girl code n shit like not dating exes so. Crazy stuff ig, I love Kimberly to death but she’s gotta stop whoring around /j
Kimberly and Nico were kinda cute tho!! Except that Nico had a girlfriend and didn’t tell her, that was not cool at all. I’m glad Leighton got pissed at him for not only cheating on her friend maya but also with her roommate kimber. I feel like I relate to much to Kimberly’s attitude towards like. Life generally but also she makes me mad sometimes. I think her and Jackson were going really well!!! They understood they were different but he was more than happy to be involved in her interests, but noooo!! She saw her coworker in a different light for a night and went ❤️🫦❤️ in 0.2 seconds!!! Bitch no u had a boyfriend!!!! Plus she Knows going for Canaan is a bad deal!!!!!!
I really liked bela too, and I’m glad that she’s getting consequences. I wish that she yk. Didn’t cheat on Eric with the comedian. Glad she remembers Eric existed, but also damn girl 1.8 gpa?? And also she wants to transfer?? Girlie that’s running from your problems!!! And also your roommates who love you very much!!! Although the whole ryan thing fucking sucked, she had a bit of a feminist arc in helping start the foxy but girlie no
anyways this probably didn’t make sense, thank you for reading this far if anyone did, and if you haven’t already go watch sex lives of college girls <3 I really liked it and as a current freshman in college I would like to say their fictional lives are very different from my own and had a fun time watching their drama
